Two train cars plunged into a river in Southwest China's Sichuan Province earlier this week. 13-hundred passengers were transferred to safety, Luckily, no one was killed.

A train staff said, "First, I asked the train staff to move the passengers in the common carriages to the sleeping carriages and to the head of the train. I repeated that several times."

A police chief said, "The police did the rescue work in two ways, one was to evacuate, and the other was to save people. When we walked to the derailed car, the door didn't open. I asked railway engineers to help. More than ten staff members in our station broke several windows to save people."

Wang Baoning, train staff, said, "Moments after the evacuation, passengers left one of the cars. Within two minutes, one car dropped into the river, within 10 minutes, another one fell in."

"Anyone there"

"A second car has plunged into the water."

Thanks to the efforts of the staff that did not panic in the situation, no one died in the accident. Quick action from the rescue team, and the passengers also helped get everyone out alive.
